de blasio has a chance of winning an election, not a re-election, but winning an election by a margin that only ed koch ever got. he won by 68 points. koch was an incumbent. abraham beam holds the record when he won by 40 points in 1973. no democrat won the seat since 1989. and guess what, he's also a red sox fan? how about that. >>> a few other things you should know. yes, there are exit polls. i know a bunch of you always ask. we're exit polling in virginia and new jersey. we're going to learn a lot. what do people think about the health care law in the state of virginia? remember, virginia, america's best swing state when it comes to being as close to the national vote. the obama job approval rating. all of those numbers will be fascinating to look at inside this exit poll so we'll have not just the results, we'll have fascinating little looks at the exit polls, what they mean in virginia, what they mean for chris christie's presidential prospects in new jersey. that's coming up after the polls close. that's it for this edition of "the daily rundown." stick with us all day long. wh
